Heartbreaking: Larry Csonka American football fullback Just Passed Away At The Aged of 77….see..more……The Hall of Fame fullback appeared on OutKick’s “The Ricky Cobb Show” and detailed how tough and demanding it was playing for Shula. Csonka said Shula’s style likely wouldn’t work in today’s NFL.

“He was a very demanding, perfection-seeking head coach that would not take no for an answer,” Csonka said of Shula. “So, he was inescapable. He decided everything from when you were coming in, to what your weight was, to how you hiccup, to how you put your hand up on the sideline. He let no detail go astray. And until you realize that that formula works, when we started it made it more tolerable, but coach Shula first got there and started demanding all of that in coaching that way, there was a lot of people looking for the first bus out of Dodge.

“I don’t know if you could even do that today. I don’t even know if his type of coaching would even fit in the NFL today. It certainly would be a square peg in a round hole. … When we started to win, it became easier to accept his demands, because when you start to win, and you start to win consistently to where you start to have faith in the team, and it starts to develop, it’s like a plant growing. Suddenly it starts to relish the sunlight, it starts to reach for it more and more.”
